Ordered the Mole Chicken dinner. Consisted of one tiny Chicken thigh and a boatload of Mole sauce. Barely any rice or beans. The chicken was tender and the Mole sauce good, although spicier than any other I have had. Came with three tortillas and nothing else. Took about 15-20 minutes.There was so little food I heated up some left over chicken and used up the rest of the sauce to at least make it a meal.This is complete ripoff for $15. One small chicken thigh is not a meal by any means and the measly amount of sides didn't help. The place looked kind of dark and small inside, but seemed clean.

ordered from them a year ago and the delivery never showed up... was in the mood for Mexican and ordered again tonight and nothing, no phone answer , nothing.. its a shame i probably would have ordered a lot if it was good. if you feel like ordering food at 4 pm and not getting any (from another more expensive restaurant) till after 8.. hit these guys up.. no idea how they still have the ability to take orders... does anyone get their food?

Incredibly delicious with fresh ingredients. The real thing. I think they even soak dry beans overnight, rather than get them from a can, because the beans literally melt in your mouth. Well worth looking for. I love the decor too, would buy the tablecloths and decorations if I could - check out the ceiling fan.

Excellent enchiladas verde, excellent guacamole. My son likes their beef tongue tacos. The restaurant interior is not too comfortable, but this is a great place for takeout.

The price for quality and taste isn't worth it but maybe I'm biased where I was raised with favorable good quality restaurants back in IL.

Had the steak tacos, overall they were really good and I'll be coming back.

One of the best mexican places!!! Tortillas were amazing and home made. Excellent service. Good portions. 100% recommended.

Honest family operation. Felt transported to a different country; good food.

We normally love Mexican food and were really anxious to try this place as the reviews looked great. My guy's Burrito had absolutely no flavor...no seasoning. My Enchiladas with mole sauce, unfortunately. Needless to say, we would not recommend.
